I'm Oprah Winfrey. Welcome to Super Soul Conversations, the podcast. I believe that one of the most

valuable gifts you can give yourself is time. Taking time to be more fully present. Your journey

to become more inspired and connected to the deeper world around us starts right now.

Today on Super Soul Conversations, Cheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook, the social media leader

with nearly 2 billion users around the world. Four years ago, it was Cheryl who coined the phrase,

Lean in, when she called on working women to step up in their careers and shatter glass

ceilings at the workplace. Now Cheryl is on a new mission that's landed her on the cover of Time

magazine once again. After suffering the loss of her beloved husband, Dave Goldberg, she's helping others

find their way through grief. Cheryl Sandberg says her husband, Dave Goldberg, was her best friend.

The pair married in 2004 and later had two children. Two years ago, Dave died suddenly while on vacation in Mexico.

In her new book, Option B, co-authored with psychologist Adam Grant,

Cheryl shares her moving account of the sudden death of her husband

and all the life-affirming lessons she learned on her journey back to gratitude, resilience, and joy.

So I won't ask you, how are you doing?

Because from reading option B, I learned that that's almost, that is an inappropriate question

to ask somebody who's gone through a horrendous experience.

So I will ask you, how are you doing today?

It's now two years since Dave died, yeah.

I'm different.

You're different.

I'm a different person.

I'm sadder.
